Stone Forest 5

Not a forest of volume stone but a fidelity concurrence abiding the spire of empty socket.  Tie is simply an overbalanced tree, the bulb picket where you hear a steady stone in lithified current to openness.  The root may float away leaving a socket ripe for pressing it, or a decompression of absence chambering the surface.

The basic promise for removing kernel is to band in socket, as horizon of mutated (incorporate-collective) defeat.  No ghost image of the absent (drowned) trunk other than a phantom grown pure inference in rock.  Busy loops of counter-absence wherever the socket map was emptied onto extent.

The queue for site-specific abandonment upon a placing is never empty: in the absence of correct kernel an unsifted surround erupts at calcified hold.  The body’s case was vacuous but the encasing is conductive surplus, so binding address will default to a referred-absent string of base.

Empty socket now handles a re-future that there can be some exit covery: verifies a hyper-present on socket wall as remainder, secondary dependence being tougher in care than the vanished (lifted) core.  Not a free space but an extra engrounded ligament, a root of weak attraction does the attrition better than vertical penetration.

Drowned in situ until the residual resident crowns out around the expended (not rescinded) sinews of site.  Never subtract the mirage of a fossil from its socket: to gather bundled ground long after the core is to offer the veering of core to an earth of its rounded disappearance.  A nest of orbital disappearance forever a non-clearance, but craggy safety-ground fused at the departure module.
